launchpad registration broken

[Chris Garcia]

Well, thanks everyone, for trying to help. I still haven't heard from
Launchpad. I wanted to thank Valentin Neacsu for his touchpad bug fix (Bug
#133060) and also mention that his directions don't make sense to a newcomer
unless you start in the root directory. I started in my home folder which
the terminal defaults to and it took me a while to figure out why things
weren't working. But otherwise the directions were perfect and when I
finally completed them my touchpad worked perfectly. Like others, this
touchpad issue was almost a deal breaker for me. I'm happy to put it behind
me. Valentin, if you're on this list, thank you. If not, possibly someone
could pass this message on.

Chris

"The Brescian monk, Francesco de Lana-Terzi, was the first person to
unambiguously propose that human ascent could be achieved by using the
lighter-than-air principle. However, he made no attempt to construct his
'flying boat' -- literally a wooden boat designed to be lifted by four
hollow spherical vessels. Instead of floating in air, de Lana became filled
with inner heaviness. He believed his application was immoral and would be
prevented by the Creator." --Graham Dorrington
